WHAT DOES STEEMIT MEAN TO YOU?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit6 years ago

Recently, I was asked that question.


In preparation for the STEEMIT IN NIGERIA Conference, @ehiboss requested that I make a video that they could show the attendees at the conference. Of course I wanted to help out. Here is what I came up with.

To find out more about the STEEMIT IN NIGERIA conference, click here. A lot of incredible steemians are hard at work to grow the number of steemians in their communities.

YOUR TURN

Although the video that I made is about five minutes long, if I had to sum it up in one sentence, I would probably say something like this:

Steemit is an online outlet for your hobbies and creativity where you can not only interact with members of a global community who share your interests, but actually get paid for doing so too!


What about you? What does steemit mean to you?

Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

A social media with a difference, it is an amazing library of talents which rewards participants for their efforts in participating. I see it as a sort of a revolution of the social media which had so far successfully changed the status quo. It is an awesome challenging endeavor where I have learned so much in just a few months. Nobody does it like steemit. ✌️

Absolutely! Very well said. Thanks for that.

You are most welcome.

It is awesome how far STEEM has come and all the people who have joined!

Yet, for some reason the coin still goes down.So us insiders know that the platform is doing well. But new parties don't know that and might think twice before joining the platform.

That is true but if we keep gaining overtime and a certain percentage stick around then we will gain a bigger and bigger foundation overtime.

You are right. We need to build a solid user-base first. Ideally people who don't write blogs directly related to steemit. Because other subjects will probably do better in the search engines.

I fully agree!

What does Steemit mean to me? It's a place to be myself. My imperfect, non-instagram worthy photo taking, self. With Instagram photos and million follower blogs and Youtube out there, it's nice when you can show what you are into and have others see and interact with you about what you enjoy. And its kind of nice when you get rewarded for being just you.

I like that part of it, because I wasn't planning on being anyone else anyway!

Just about right, @papa-pepper! :) And also the encouraging and uplifting people around! And it amazes me that people are interested on what I can offer.

I love the positive and uplifting aspect of steemit! Thanks for bringing this up.

I believe this stems from the subjective valuation - trolling on steemit will lose money, whereas on facebook, youtube, reddit etc there are relatively little consequences.

I am so glad I haven't crossed with those kind of people yet.

Keep up the great work, my friend. upvoting and resteeming for you to spread the word.

Good Nigeria Conference info

where we meet great people like you @papa-pepper....nice question to ask

LOL, thank you!

What is steemit to me? Steemit is a place to share things I have learned in my past,teaching at the preschool I work at. It's a community of people who have common interest to share with each other. It is where we can speak freely. Right now I am working on building up my steem power. I am not at a point of cashing anything out yet.

AH yes, speaking freely! Very important!

Steemit is a place for me to post about things I would normally post if I had my own website. But here I get a following with similar interests. Whereas on a blog or website, you have to go out an "recruit' fans, readers and followers.

Steemit is also an outlet for me to interact with other people and share ideas, brainstorm and learn new ways of life, gardening and homesteading.

You got it girl!

Steemit to me is a place where I've FINALLY met lots of like-minded homesteaders willing to support each other - that's in upvoting, educating, share ideas and knowledge etc. I've met more people here than I have from over a decade of blogging on a different platform.

Yes! And not just homesteaders - eco-friendlies, preppers, hippies, wish-they-coulds and all sorts of nice 'normies' ! Community is a top reason here ;p

I TOTALLY agree!

Me too! I know a lot more homesteaders in my actual area too!
